Avery was FANTASTIC! She was incredibly attentive and attuned to our 11 month old daughter. She was also very patient and understanding when our daughter had a difficult day with her naps. Avery has a calming presence and our daughter loved spending her days with her. We hope Avery can help out with our daughter again down the road.

Hi! My name is Evangelia (Eva), and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked with twin infants as young as 2 months old and provided consistent care for a child from infancy through age 6, giving me valuable experience with every stage of early childhood development. I also spent two years volunteering in a classroom setting with multiple children, where I developed strong skills in supervision, communication, and creating a fun, positive environment. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported while giving parents peace of mind. I am CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize safety, patience, and reliability in every family I work with. Whether it's helping with daily routines, engaging in creative activities, or providing attentive care, I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for every child.

Hi! My name is Katie, and I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I began volunteering in my church nursery and childcare programs at the age of 12, which helped me develop a strong foundation in patience, responsibility, and caring for children in a safe and nurturing environment. As the oldest of four siblings, I also naturally grew into a caregiver role at home, helping with daily routines, schoolwork, and supervision. Professionally, I have worked in both a daycare setting and at a resort where I interacted with families and children regularly. Through these experiences, I have worked with children as young as 4 weeks old up to 14 years old. I am comfortable handling a wide range of needs including bottle feeding, diaper changes, playtime activities, homework help, and maintaining structure and routines. I am known for being dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to children’s needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident. I am currently looking for babysitting or nannying opportunities where I can continue doing what I love, caring for children and supporting families.
